Triggered with Don Jr.
There could be a game of musical chairs in the White House Briefing Room, because that’s what it sounds like Trump possibly replacing some of the traditional media reporters with bro podcasters.
Donald Trump Jr. was chatting with cohost Michael Knowles on his podcast ‘Triggered With Donald Trump Jr.’ when the subject came up.
Don Jr. said, “I was on the plane with my dad…and we were talking about the podcast world and some of our friends and Rogan and guys like you.” The conversation turned to adding them, other podcasters, and other non-traditional media types to the Briefing Room.
Don said, “That’ll blow some heads.”
The point is… there are only 49 seats in the chamber, so someone has to go if Trump makes the change happen. The White House Correspondents Ass’n are responsible for allocating seats, but it’s not a stretch to think that Trump could say it’s his White House and he’ll do what he wants. During his first term, he banned a CNN reporter from the Briefing Room, but a judge forced him to return.
Trump Jr. grumbled about the NYT and other media outlets that he says are an arm for the Democrats, so changing them is fair game.
So Theo vonThe Undertaker and other podcast bros could take center stage at the daily briefings.
